Sleeping Faun (also known as the drunken faun or the Barberini faun)
Marble, 1726-1730
Edme Bouchardon
Chaumont-in-Bassigny, 1698 - Paris, 1762
This work, executed in Rome, is a copy of a famous antique of the Barberini collection.
(today in Glyptotheque of Munich). For one and a half centuries, It was moved around several parks (the garden of Monceau, the park of Saint-Cloud, the garden of Luxembourg), and this long stay outside has damaged the surface of the marble irremediably.
